Rack 'Em Up: The Convenience of Racks All Around the House
Racks are one of the best items that I've ever found in terms of something that is useful in almost any room in the home. They provide excess storage, allow you to put cool items on display without using up too much space and even serve a great decorative purpose in the room. Racks add a sense of organization and make things more convenient which is something that all of us are looking for as we put our homes together.
What I really love about racks is that there are so many different choices when it comes to using them. There are wine racks, hat racks, key racks, coat racks, plate racks, clothing racks and more. You can get classic designs or modern designs; you can build them yourself or salvage them from thrift stores or get them from IKEA. You can use them to show off some of your favorite items or to get other items out of your way.
Do you have racks in your home? You should!

Do you have racks in your home? You should!
The most common type of rack that you see in the home these days is a hat rack and / or key rack that consists of little knobs on the wall of the front entry or hallway. I love how that traditional rack idea has become such a creative part of the home with this wall mural where the knobs are butterflies!
A standing coat rack is something that far too few homes have and yet every room should. It's a convenient place to hang coats and hats, of course. However, it can also be used to hang scarves or even decorative hanging items. Get creative with it!
A magazine rack or book rack is a great way to keep reading material around with creating clutter. I love this particular design that hangs on the wall so you don't have to find a space for it on the floor.
This laundry room is so organized it's almost frightening! The thing I'd take away from this design (besides the great colors!) is how convenient it is to have a drying rack right in your laundry room.
The laundry room isn't the only place that you might want a rack for hanging clothes. A cool new clothes rack can create organized storage room in a house that has too few closets.
A plate rack is a great addition to any kitchen. I love the way that this one allows you to show off a beautiful plate collection without taking up precious space in your kitchen. Notably, a plate rack can be used anywhere in the house to show off items in this manner.
I have always been a huge fan of a hanging rack for pots and pans. It saves space, it shows off your cool kitchen products and it makes cooking convenient.
A riddling rack is probably the coolest type of wine rack that I've ever seen. I just love the textured 3D feeling that it adds to the room. How interesting!
